A GUI comprised of useful tools to help with Dota 2 modding.
- Particle Forker & Designer. Allows easy copying of decompiled particles into your addons. This will automatically change the child references after the particles are copied over.
- Re-color, rename, and/or resize whole particle systems at just the click of a button!
- Tooltips Generator. Parses all the files in the scripts\npc folder of your addon, and creates tooltips for abilities, items, modifiers, units, and heroes, which you can easily copy over to addon_english.txt or another language file.
- Fork Addon From Barebones. Create your own unique addon based off of the Barebones template.
- Templates. Create templates for commonly used abilities, items, heroes, and units, which you can easily copy into your addon.
- Wiki Generator. Generate wikis for your addon, for every language you've defined, based off the scripts/npc files. Currently incomplete.
- Copy Addon to another folder. Copies the game and content directories of your addon to another folder.
-
Download the lastest version here, or you can build from the .sln. Extract the contents to a new folder, and ensure that folder is on the same drive as your Dota 2 installation. You can make a shortcut to D2ModKit.exe so you can run it from your main drive.
-
Download the decompiled particles and extract the folder over to the D2ModKit folder.
-
Run D2ModKit.exe
I hope you find every feature in D2ModKit intuitive and easy to use. I will outline how to use some of the features below.
Templates: To edit templates just edit the .txt files in the D2ModKit\Templates folder. To add a new entry just preface the entry with //+Template as shown in the example entries.
